To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED A. COOK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Longview, in the county of Champaign and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Hinge, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hinges to be used in a plastic wall, such as cement concrete, in a monolithic form.

The object of this invention is to provide a hinge so arranged and constructed as to make it possible to hang a door or window direct to a concrete wall, and means for the fastening of the key and spring-bolt of a mortise knob lock and the like, the means for a j amb, or door and window stop, being first provided by the concrete forms, then by the use of this hinge, it will be seen that we can do away with the undesirable wooden frame and door and window stop, which is out of harmony with the kind of structure built from a fire proof point of view, wood being also subject to decay, warping, and swelling, from conditions beyond control.

A further object is the saving in cost of this wooden frame and stops, and by doing away with this frame it opens up the way for the waterproofing process as these doors and window frames are commonly placed in the Wall at the time of mixing, and as in the erection of a concrete wall,

it is hard to stop a leak next to or behind this frame; without this frame waterproofing plaster may be applied to the entire basement.

Further objects and advantages will appear in the following description, it being understood that various changes in form, proportions and minor details of construcion may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification: Figure 1 is a view of the entire hinge, in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a view of the hinge, in three parts. Fig. 3 is a view of the oval shaped central part of the hinge.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, of the drawings.

of may project. 2 is not connected to 1 until after the forms are removed, then when 2 is connected to 1 the hinge can be turned on the threads of 1 allowing the pivot pin to project upward in position. 3 is the remaining or third part of the hinge, having a flat ear shaped wing, and a knuckle to encircle the pivot pin of part 2. The object of having this ear shaped design is to get a wide grip on the door or window close up to the pivot, and gain strength thereby. a is a carriage bolt. 5 are the bolt holes, the bolts being used to fasten the door or window to the hinge with the nuts on the inside. 15 shows by dotted lines, some of the various ways the bar may be bent to the desired position. 16 shows by dotted lines the threaded hole in 2. 6 is a broken section of the door as attached; 7 is the jamb in the wall.

While the hinge is principally designed for artifical stone, it is obvious that the same may be used with good results for brick, and cement block walls, as the crooked bars could be embedded in the mortar joint.

From the foregoing description, it is thought that the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood by those skilled in the art and further description thereof is deemed unnecessary.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:

In a hinge of the class described, having a crooked metallic bar, tempered, so the bar can be bent to any desired angle, having threads at one end, to be embedded in a plastic wall, all but the threaded end, said threaded end to project outwardly from the wall, to engage a second member having a circular plate shoulder, to engage the wall and having a screw threaded engagement in the circular plate, connecting the two members together, the said eircularplateof testimony that I claim the foregoing the second member havlng a shoulder and as my own, I have hereto aflixed my slgrnm arm supportlng ap1v0t pm and a thlrd ture 1n the presence of two \ntnmsos.
